About this episode
Christa Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital during Tennessee's September 30, 2026 execution attempt. We go through the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, the sentences that followed, and the questions the case raises about childhood trauma and the death penalty. Then we get into the ER nurse side of it: IV access, possible infiltration, execution protocols, and the ethical mess of caring for someone who has survived a lethal injection.
